Have determination will travel..

I am planning an excursion to Europe when i finish my work here in Egypt at the mid of next month..since i have nothing much also if i come back early..would have already missed 1 best friend's wedding and another best friend's engagement..

but now i know why travel companies exist..hurdles after hurdles i have been going through to secure the cheapest flights and most of all...my lifelong dream to be at Anfield to watch Liverpool play...it will be Liverpool vs Arsenal on March 31st..i really hope i can be there..

it's starting to look bleak and its very taxing..the search and all..the worst part..the exchange rate...im gonna spend a fortune on this..to my standards that is...but i am determined to make it now...now or never..which is probably true...

Holiday Withdrawal Syndrome

(sunrise on the Nile:captivating)











See Yin arrived in Cairo for a holiday on the 31st of Jan, a Wednesday, after much awaiting in the transit in Dubai (mind u, it was 12 hours transit plus 1 hr delay, so thats looong), worries by all the people involved in the process, herself, me, her family, the insurance company, the people who are waiting for her souvenirs and etc..

And more worryingly is that this is her first flying experience and i had to walk her through all the processes and procedures involved including answering her question on where they keep parachutes in the plane...and she was travelling alone..

So all in...i was pretty much a very relieved man when i saw her at the Arrival gates at Cairo Terminal 2...the gateway to Egypt...where hungry sharks and alligators await u the moment u step out from the terminal offering anything from shoe shining services to whether u need to hop on immediately onto another plane for a tour after taking a journey of 25 hours...go figure

Alas, we started our 2 weeks of vacation...not really vacation as i still had to work most of the days...but after being stuck in a foreign land for almost 6 months...being able to have a conversation without involving words such as "salamelekum" or "allez kla" is kinda of a big relief for me...and we did have time to go for excursions around the city and all..so "no"..u guys cant prosecute me for keeping someone locked up in a house..

It was 2 weeks of to me..perfection..u enjoy so many things that a company can provide u after not having any for sooooo long (no perverts..im not talking bout sex)....and it was timely...i could've sworn that i heard some of my brain nerves making some crackling noise at times...

Then after 2 weeks, it was time for her to leave home for CNY...as i don't have the license to keep her with me yet :p, i had to make do with 2 weeks..time does fly..and these 2 weeks..im pretty sure it was on a fighter jet :) but well..it was damn well worth it...we had the best of times..that is for us to keep and for anyone of u who wants to know to find out..

The moments after i saw See Yin off at the Departure Gate of Terminal 2, Cairo International...this weird kind of feeling started to sink in...and it totally submerged to the bottom of my stomach the moment i stepped back into my apartment...its this feeling when u were so happy around company that when they all leave or the session ends..u get this feeling of loneliness...

It's been 3 days since she left..and to rub it in..today is Chinese New Year, its the first time i'm spending it away from family...a short phone call just now made me hear what i was missing back at home...the sound of my cousins playing cards and chattering away..

I guess this is the scene of the Mastercard advertisement where u slot in "Priceless"...i dont know whether all people share this sort of weird feeling...perhaps anti socials dont...but i do...and that ladies and germs..i named the Holiday Withdrawal Syndrome...

Welcome to the Piggy!!

(People who can peer into my apartment window must be thinking that these chinese fellas must be shooting some kind of weird advertisement)

Dear loyal readers/stalkers/friends/enemies..

Just wanna take this chance to wish everybody a very Happy Chinese New Year...well..this will be the first time in my life where i'll be spending CNY alone..and working...sad but true

See Yin's leaving on a jetplane today back home...so i'll be back to the drawing board yet again..

Anyway wish everybody will have a prosperous one this year...love them pigs..give them a hug or something if u see one piggying around since this is their year..hehe...and sticking to the good ol' wish:

"Gong Xi Fa Cai"

"Hong Pau Na Lai"

and cheers to a new Lunar Year...enjoy guys!! i miss u all a lot ;)

Valentine's....

(Threesome: Works like magic)

The question of wisdom i ask myself every year on the 14th of February, as i'm being threatened with overpriced everythings.....what's the meaning of a valentine's day?

Does it mean we love somebody more only on this day? Point to ponder...

Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day to all...

Cure for an itch..

If what they say bout laughter being the best medicine is true... then this will probably solve the itching u had on ur butt crack that you're trying to scratch but couldn't because someone is still looking and ur just not ready to send someone into fasting mode for seeing u in 'action'..

""Insane man who escapes from the mental asylum, rapes a couple of women doing laundry and runs away

Newspaper Headline reads: Nut screws washers and bolts ""

I just never thought some engineering jokes could make me laugh..but this one did...and pls..i didn't get this off any engineering journals whatsoever..this came from The Star..credits to the newspaper that updates me on the political screw ups thats happening in my country everyday...crappy rubbish talks from the govt like this, this, this, this, this, this, and this..just to name a few for the day

and where do all these one liners and such come from anyway...do they have like an International Standards of Organization for Laughter or maybe in typical fashion where these organizations like to name themselves in weird lingos.."l'organisation internationale de norme pour le rire" for a direct translation to French thanks to Google

I guess there will be a panel of nutheads sitting around cracking jokes all day long and writing them down on a piece of paper before another committee reviews it and gets approved when someone falls off the chair laughing on a good day, then it gets sent to a techie junkie who will then send mass emails of notification (read:spam) to people all over the world about the newly invented joke...

so much for a conspiracy theory on a Tuesday morning..haha...enjoy guys..have a nice day!

Welcome back to the Sarcasto Meister!!

well, well, well...am i back? am i really back?

i cant really answer that bcos later im afraid u guys will sue me if i stop posting again like what happened to my old blog...anyway it was a sad ending to the last one...i got a few reminders for inactivity and then they just deleted my blog off when i finally found some inspiration to write again...it was a real turnoff and now i found my self again after being inspired by a few..

so who exactly is this few?...well...with so much time in the office now in Egypt..hehe *shhhhh*...i normally pretend to look like im working sometimes but in actual fact im just reading newspapers or even browsing through blogs..the most recent ones was from patrick teoh...i must say...i missed myself when i was going through his blog..he reminds me of myself

the self that has so much rantings for injustice, and inequality and unfairness in the world that we live in...i have so much in my mind but these things tend to play in my head at the most unwritable times...when im driving back from work...when im shitting myself off on the potty...when im "busy" finding out on the things that are happening back home from the local online newspaper...so on n so forth..i think u get my point.

i even got a few questions from fan clubs asking me what happened n why i stopped...well..its a national secret between me and the govt and its under the Official Secrets Act or whatever they call it....so pls...if any of u guys out there have copies of this agreement..pls surrender it to the local police station...and dont bother wearing so much clothes when u get there..u might have to do some nude squats as well...n shave as required for the video session.

im sill in Egypt at the moment..maybe a month or so before i get to go home..i miss home...n i miss the food...if i get to choose between Amber Chia or a tabletop filled with steaming nasilemak, char kuey teow, bak kut teh and some garlic cheese naan from Steven's Corner when i get out of the airport...i would happily opt for the latter..haha...no offence Ms Chia...like all ppl say..nothing beats Malaysian food..

well...that said...the times in Egypt here have been tough mentally...the work n the life...my girlfriend is still here at the moment..a week more before she heads home for chinese new year..which means i will spend it alone...of course accompanied by some "Yok Kon" courtesy of
Daniel n YK back at home...although im still complaining due to the lack of it...

so my new ambition for the new blogs...

i will refrain from complaining so much bout work...cos i know all of us suffer from the vicious cycle of life n we all have our fair share of shit/sii/sai/tahi/shaizen/shuhekh in our everyday life from it...so no more of that...

i will refrain from writing stupid things like what time i got up this morning, how many grams of toothpaste i put on my toothbrush and how many oranges i brought to work today (which is incidentally 2 just in case some ppl really want to know)...basically things that i know I AM NOT INTERESTED IN KNOWING BOUT U the other way around..

so thats it...cheers to a new blog..to a new start...and to the new ramblings in the cock n bull farm!! enjoy the ride...and thanks for watching!!
